Weekly Photo Challenge: Natural Light

As most of us know, natural light is the best light for pleasing photos.
However, certain times of the day are more desirable than others.

Try shooting at these times for best results:

• between sunrise and 1 ½ hours after

• between sunset and 1 ½ hours before

If possible, avoid the direct, overhead sunlight between 11am and 2 pm. During these times, the overhead light creates harsh, ugly shadows.

Assignment:

1. Select a stationary outdoor subject in full light.
2. Shoot the subject from the same position early in the morning, at noon and again in the early evening.
3. Note how the shadows change and the pleasing effects of the early morning and late evening light.
